Gurian is very good. They couldn't quite make the ladder strips as small as I wanted, but came very close.

I contacted gurian on the suggestion of vancouver luthier michael dunn , he suggested buying my rope binding from them instead of making it myself. I was planning to use maple and walnut for my weissenborn build. Gurian uses pau ferro or morado and maple . Have any of you bought from them . and if so what was your experience using their binding /purfling scheme Thank you |

Gurians marquetry is really good, I use nobody else. They produce for the major luthier suppliers as well as the guitar manufacturers. I love using their stuff as it is very consistent and it bends easily without separating. Great people as well. |

If you need enough to justify the $200 minimum order, then it is worth it. I have purchased from their "overrun" stock, and the purfling is very well made. |

I really want them to make an overrun of "wheat purfling" the super fine version of herringbone. |

Thank you for the link Mike—ver nice stuff, but a little different style than the wheat purfling I'm thinking of. Sometimes its also called "crows foot." Lars Rasmussen uses a beautiful version of this style:  Mike Collins wrote:

Sorry ; I thought rope was the diagonal purfs. Make a order from Gurian-I'm sure if you order allot that many other makers would buy some from you. Plus get different colors. Mike |

thanks mike . I think you get 22 pcs 48 in in L per order for $200. I have at least 4 other future tops and backs which can use the rope binding. |
